Review: A measure of optimism (and one of cognac)

Finsbury Growth & Income Trust (FGT) is a focused portfolio of 25-30 stocks, mainly large cap and focused on the UK, although up to 20% at the time of acquisition (currently c 18%) may be held in overseas companies. Manager Nick Train is known for his long-term, low-turnover approach; the last complete exit from the portfolio was in 2013 and until the recent purchase of Rémy Cointreau, no new stocks had been bought since 2011. Long-term performance has been strong, with NAV and share price total returns in excess of 10% a year over 10 years, and the trust is ranked in the top quartile of its peer group over one, three, five and 10 years.
